1 Introduction and Aims

In automatic small parts warehouses items are mainly stored by means of load carriers or load make-
up accessories, such as boxes, storage trays and cases. Storage and retrieval is automatically achie-
ved by a Storage and Retrievel (refered to as SIR in the continuing text) machine. Load handling devi-
ces operate with lift, pull or grabbing mechanisms. The racks are designed as single or multi-location
systems. Their functionality depends on a number of system components. The interrelation of toleran-
ces and deformations during operation requires sufficient clearance between moving loads or unit
loads and fixed system components.
The aim of this document is to show the relation of the individual system components in respect of
tolerances and deformations. Permissible practical tolerances and deformations shall be listed for typi-
cal system solutions. The aim is that the values for individual system components will result in clearly
defined levels of responsibility in the event of interface problems. .
Due to the tolerances and deformations quantified in this document as well as the additional data for
tolerances, wear and deformation of the SIR machine and the load make-up accessories, calculations
for clearances and entry clearances must be made. The method used is described in section 7.
The aim of this document is to determine the admissible deformations and tolerances in order to opti-
mise the factors relating to the economical dimensioning, manufacturing and assembly required for the
safe functioning of the overall system.
2 Scope
This document applies to automatic small parts warehouses (not silo design) with SIR machines which
travel on a floor mounted rail and are stabilized by an upper guide rail. The storage locations in the
rack must be filled as evenly as possible (random storage).
If there is to be a deviation from this guideline in a specific instance, clear arrangements must be made
and evidence of functionality of the overall system in any given operating system produced, taking
normal wear into account.

3 Definitions
Coordinate positioning: Positioning of the SIR machine using global coordinates.
Positioning via the Teach-in Process: Teach-in processes rely on calculating the position coordina-
tes by means of an initial control of all storage locations. The actual coordinates calculated are stored
in the control system and can be reproduced. Through permanent control points the system can mo-
nitor and correct itself where possible. Depending on the warehouse configuration the Teach-in
Process can require considerable effort in calculating the individual coordinates.
Location fine positioning: Basic positioning of the SIR machine using global coordinates, followed by
rack fine positioning via additional sensors for the X andlor Y coordinates. The greater accuracy this
achieves is accompanied by a loss in performance. .
System level: Plane without tolerances in XY direction, XZ direction and YZ direction, defined by cle-
arly marked points or straight lines.
Tolerance: The permissiblle maximum deviation from nominal dimension, resulting from manufacture
and assembly.
Deformation: Deviation from the basic position due to the effect of forces.
Clearance: The required nominal distance between fixed and moving parts and which, all individual
tolerances and deformations considered, prevent collisions.
Entry Clearance: Clearance between the load handling device and the load make-up accessory or
rack structure.
Rack compartment clearance: Clearance between respective unit loads and the rack structure.
Aisle clearance: Clearance between the outer most edge of the SIR machine and the outer most edge
of the rack or the unit load and clearances at the rear of the stored unit load.
System axes: A fixed straight line between 2 points in the X direction (aisle length direction), Y direc-
tion (aisle vertical direction) and Z direction (aisle lateral direction).
Auxiliary level: Vertical or horizontal level without tolerances.

4 Factors of Influence
A common height plane as well as common horizontal axes shall normally be defined for all compo-
nents by the persons responsible for the construction. These shall be marked clearly and permanently,
and shall act as reference points for the project-related datum planes and axes.
When calculating the internal measurements of the building the negative effects of deformations and
tolerances must be taken into account.
Persons responsible for the construction must be able to demonstrate its suitability for use and thus
define the conditions (forces, tolerance, admissible deformations and clearances).
The constructors and sub-contractors shall ensure that individual components (e.g. floor slabs, racks,
SIR machines) have sufficient capacity for the agreed loads and maintain the defined tolerances and
deformations.
Tolerances and possible deformations will result from the following operating components of an auto-
matic small parts warehouse:
- surface/foundations behaviour under load
- floor slab (manufacturing accuracy and behaviour under load)
- floor rail
- guide rail
- load make-up accessories incl. load
- profile check
- storage location
- SIR machine
- rack structure
In contrast to high bay storage where pallets are mainly used, automatic small parts stores are cha-
racterised by a wide range of solutions for load handling devices on SIR machines and load make-up
accessories. The following types of load handling device can be used:
I. Telescopic tables (used with lifting mechanism)
11. Mechanical insertion/extraction (pulling device) at the front of the load make up accessory
Ill. Lateral grabbing / pushing devices
IV. Belt or conveyor pulling devices
V. All other types: All requirements must be agreed by the contract parties..
Plastic containers, metal containers, trays, rigid plattens (e.g. wooden plattens), cardboard boxes etc.
can be used as unit loads or load make-up accessories. As a rule, any given load make-up accessory
will require a particular load handling device. The properties of these system components may require
different-clearances.
Page 5
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
In the racking structure, different supporting beams are used for the loads. Typical solutions include:
- lateral supporting angles on beams between each load make-up accessory (single location stora-
ge);
- beams with support bearers embedded, Le. several loads between the stands (multi-location stora-
ge).
The SIR machines can be fitted with different positioning control systems. Depending on the system,
the following may be used:
- pure coordinate positioning in X and Y directions
- location fine positioning in X and/or Y direction
- positioning via Teach-in process
NOTE: The selection of the location system (e.g. location fine positioning, Teach-in Process) will
greatly affect the clearances/entry clearances, pepending on the positioning system certain fac-
tors of influence will not come into play (or at least to a much lesser extent) when calculating the
clearances/entry clearances.
4.1 Surface I Foundations

It is assumed that the foundations for the length of the entire floor slab are the same.
This is the responsibility of the constructing owner or civil engineer.
4.2 Floor Slab

There are two types of floor slab
a) Rigid floor slabs which lie fully flat on the surface.
b) Deflection-resistant floor slabs which lie on supports or against walls, such as ceilings in buildings
or floor slabs on piles.
The manufacturing tolerances listed in section 4.2.1 (warping, sloping, uneveness) apply to floor slabs.
For type b) slabs, depending on each case, specific agreement must be reached relating primarily to
the behaviour of the slab in the unladen state and under increasing load condition during the filling of
the store. If necessary, instructions on how to fill the warehouse should be drawn up.
The constructing owner or civil engineer is responsible for the capacity, rigidity and flatness of the floor
slab.
4.2.1 Floor slab manufacturing tolerance

Manufacturing tolerance is the flatness of the surface on which the rack structure and the floor rail are
to be assembled. The following values must be maintained when the floor slab is not under load:
The following admissible tolerances result from a horizontal auxiliary plane:

- up to 50 m floor slab length: 10 mm
- over 50 m floor slab length: 15 mm
Wh~re packing plates are used under the base plates of the rack uprights, any slope of the floor slab in
the area of the rack upright feet must not lead to eccentric loading of the packing plates. The concrete
surface must be flat.
Page 6
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
4.2.2 Vertical deformations of the floor slab I sub-structure under load

These deformations (e.g. adaptation of the floor slab to the settlement of the foundations, piles and/or
supports, permanent deformation) can result in additional stresses and inclination from the vertical of
the rack structure and the SIR machines. These are noted here only from a qualitatve point of view.
Where certain types of surface and/or floor slab conditions exist it is, nevertheless, possible for defor-
mations to such an extent (often to be measured in cms) to occur that they merit consideration when
assessing clearances and additional stresses. If necessary, special design features should be imple-
mented.
All the following considerations are based on a quasi-rigid floor slab for all storage component designs
unless specific information is provided by the civil engineer or client.
A floor slab is quasi-rigid if the following vertical deformations are not exceeded:
- overall vertical deformation:
1/3000 of the total storage length
1/3000 of the total storage width
- local vertical deformations:

112500 over distances up to I = 3 m in comparison to the reference plane in the X and Z directi-
ons in the rack area. I is the frame depth and/or width for stiffening towers.
The short-term and long-term behaviour of the floor slab/sub-structure must be taken into account
when assessing these deformations.
4.3 Floor Rail

4.3.1 Type of floor rail
The sizing and selection of the type of floor rail and its method of fixing and its frequency is the respon-
sibility of SIR machine manufacturer in association with the rail supplier and the engineer responsible
for the floor slab.
NOTE: If the travel rail is installed after assembling the rack system, its lateral and vertical posi-
tioning should match the rack system axes.
The floor running rail positioning tolerance demands must be taken into account when selecting the rail
profile (manufacturing tolerances for certain profiles may exceed the positioning tolerances).
The travel performance of the SIR machine can be influenced by any uneveness of the rail around the
running surface and the lateral guides as well as by the manufacturing accuracy. The surface must be
level in this area, Le. without pitting (rust, holes etc.).
4.3.2 Tolerances of the floor rail in the Z direction

T19: Alignmen accuracy of the floor rail in relation to a tolerance-free, vertical datum plane which must
run parallel to the rack datum plane measured on the bearing surface of the guide rollers.
T24: Installation tolerance of the floor rail in relation to a tolerance-free, vertical datum plane which
must run parallel to the rack datum plane measured on the bearing surface of the guide rollers.
Any variations of alignment at the joints of the guide roller running surface must be ground flat. Flat-
ness of the rail and the joint over a measured length of 200 mm must be ::; 0.5 mm.
Figures are given in chapter 6.

4.3.3 Tolerances of the floor rail in the V-direction

T21: Heigh tolerances of the floor rail head in the vertical direction, in relation to a tolerance-free, hori-
zontal datum plane.
Any variations of levelness at the rail joints of the wheel running surface must be ground flat. Flatness
of the rail and the joint over a measured length of 100 mm must be:;;; 0.1 mm.

tive to the reference position.
Figure 1: Tolerances for the upper guide rail (plan view)

Page 8
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
4.4.1 The positon of the longitudinal axis of the upper guide rail may not exceed the tolerances in rela-
tion to the mean of the centrelines of the top of the rack uprights along the aisle by 2 mm over a
measured length of 20 m (see figure 1).
4.4.2 In the area of the guide rollers the horizontal deviation of the upper guide rail from its longitudinal
axis (without load) shall not exceed 2 mm (see figure 1). Over a measured length of 2 m the hori-
zontal deviation must lie within 1 mm.
4.4.3 Any variations in rail profile at joints in the running area of guide rollers over a length of 200 mm
shall be ground flat. Flatness in a measured length of 200 mm shall be ~ 1 mm.
4.4.4 There shall be no rolling inscriptions on the running surfaces.
4.4.5 The maximum lateral deformation (sagging and twisting) in the area of the guide rollers due to the
reaction forces of the SIR machine between two fixing positions shall not exceed 3 mm (V11).
4.4.6 The lower edge of the guide rail shall not exceed the tolerance field +5/-2 mm (T22) in compari-
son to a tolerance-free datum plane when the racking is unloaded (see figure 3).
4.4.7 The sizing and selection of the type of guide rail and the method of fixing is the responsibility of
the SIR machine manufacturer in conjunction with the supplier of the upper gUide rail, (e.g. rack
supplier).
The high demands on the positioning tolerances of the upper guide rail must be taken into account
when selecting the guide rail profile (manufacturing tolerances for certain profiles may be greater than
the positioning tolerances).
4.5 Unit Load

4.5.1 Load make-up accessories
Due to the number of different load make-up accessories or unit loads, it is impossible to give
guidelines for tolerances and deformations.
Qualitatively, reference should be made e.g. to the following:

- deformation of the 4 sides of load make-up accessories (e.g. boxes, containers) when filling them
with loose items
- sagging of the load make-up accessory or base when loaded
- squarness of the base of the load make-up accessory
- squarness of the side walls to the base of the load make-up accessory
- additional deformations during lengthy storage periods
- moulding burrs and deposits or uneveness from manufacture of plastic containers
- protruding or engraved text
- damage or wear resulting from use.
The SIR machine manufacturer, rack manufacturer and user shall agree on the type of load make-up
accessory, its stability and quality. In the absence of other information, it is assumed that the edges of
the load make-up accessory are resistant to bending, although the base is not specified as having to
be resistant to warping.
Page 9
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
4.5.2 Loading
If due to physical characteristics or operational requirements it is not possible to ensure that the load is
within the parameters of the load make-up accessory (length, width, height), these factors must be
taken into consideration and the loads passed through a profile check (see 4.6).
The SIR machine manufacturer, rack manufacturer and user shall agree on the position of the load
centre of gravity. In particular, attention must be given to fluids or sliding loads which are critical in
terms of stability.
4.5.3 Guidance into the aperture

If the clearances from the tolerance calculations are not obtained, bevels or radii on the rack uprights,
load supports and load make-up accessories can allow the input and output of loads at the storage
apertures under certain conditions. The main conditions for this are:
- a securely fixed load support profile member or at the least a strong positive connection between
the load handling device and the load make-up accessory. Any tilt movement on the part of the load
make-up accessory must be taken into account.
- bevels at a shallow angle of slope, so that the load make-up accessory does not move in an un-
controlled manner or becomes separated from the load handling device on impact.
- sufficiently large radii to act as guidance at an aperature entrance.
- that the friction coefficients between the materials used allow positive sliding into the apertures.
- no jamming can occur due to the twisting of the load on the load handling device when storing and
retrieving.
The extent to which these influences shall be taken into account when calculating the clearance is
solely the responsibility of the SIR machine manufacturer who is responsible for operational safety.
The rack manufacturer shall be informed of the forces which are derived from this decision.
Figure 2 shows a recommendation for the calculation of slopes and radii for the clearances.
It is recommended that a permissible impact point is selected at about 2/3rds of the bevel "e". The
bevel angle should not exceed a maximum of 30.

FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
4.5.4 Friction between the load make-up accessory and supporting profile in the rack
In all systems where the load make-up accessory slides, frictional forces occur between the load sup-
port surfaces in the rack and the load make-up accessory. By appropriate material selection {to be
ascertained by testing) frictional pairings and thus the frictional coefficient can be determined. It is
preferable to keep these coefficients as low as possible to limit forces and deformations. Painted sur-
faces and plastics require particular attention. It should also be borne in mind that the frictional coeffi-
cient can change in certain conditions (e.g. frost, plastic packaging).
It is important to note that the transition from static friction to sliding friction cause impacts which can
lead to vibrations of the SIR machine and the racking structure.
Rack vibrations can be ignored when calculating clearances in detail.
4.6 Profile Check

Profile checking may be necessary to monitor the height, width and length.
In general, devices with photocells measure the profiles with the following tolerances:
- height: 2 mm
- width: 3 mm per side
- length: 3mm per side This may be increased for checking the load whilst moving.
- base: 2mm
The lowest tolerance level should be the maximum contractually stipulated load dimension.
4.7 Storage location

The unit load shall be positioned at the storage location with the following tolerances except when po-
sitioning can take place on the machine:

Type I 2mm 3mm
Type II,III,IV LL ~ 500 mm: 1 % from LL

LL > 500 mm: 5 mm
where:
LL = Length of the load make-up accessory in the Z direction

Page 11
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
4.8 SIR machine
The sum of the tolerances in the X, Y and Z directions caused by the SIR machine are considered in
sections 4.8.1 to 4.8.3.
Due to considerable differences between different manufacturers' SIR machines in terms of dimensi-
ons, rigidity and other design features, this data cannot be specified within these rules. In each parti-
cular case this data shall be specified by the SIR machine manufacturer. On the basis of this data, the
SIR machine manufacturer and/or the person responsible for the system shall check the overall tole-
rances in order to ensure the functioning of the system.
The SIR machine tolerances used in the calcuation examples (see Annex A) can only be regarded as
examples to demonstrate the effects tolerances have on the overall system.
4.8.1 System tolerances due to the SIR machine

Clearances can be influenced e.g. by the following:
- tolerances for the mast or the lifting carriage guides on the mast
- lifting carriage gUide play
- load handling device tolerances
- play in the Z direction between the track and guide rollers in respect of the travel or guide rail
- mechanical wear
4.8.2 Elastic Deformation

Due to alternating load effects when retrieving and depositing load units, components such as the
mast, lifting carriage, and load handling device are subject to deformation which is ofimportance for
fork entry and rack compartment clearances and need to be taken into account when determining the.
clearances.
4.8.3 Positioning Tolerances

The positioning accuracy in the X, Y and Z directions is affected e.g. by the following factors of influen-
ce:
- positioning system and motor control
- positioning speed
- delay period of the control system
- brake application delay
- braking distance differences due to wear, temperature and changes of the coefficient of friction
- backlash in the drive units
- approach to destinations from either direction
- switching accuracy (e.g. hysteresis) of the positioning sensors (switches, photocells, proximity swit-
ches)
- deviation of an incremental transmitter system from the absolute dimensions
- When using positioning markers (control cams, reflective tape, inductive switches flags etc.) these
shall be fitted to a tolerance of 1 mm (T23), relative to their nominal location.
In case of re-depositing of load units without an additional centering addition of positioning tolerances
shall be taken into a c c o u n t . .

and the load make-up accessory.

the rack (see figures 3 and 7):
- T33: level tolerance of the supporting beams facing the aisle at each level
T34: difference in height between the front and rear supporting beams in single-depth single loca-
tion storage

4.9.2 Deformations due to forces

Deformation of the racking can occur due to the following:
- the loads stored
- frictional forces of a unit load during storage or retrieval (pulling mechanism)
- additional load forces resulting from the tilting of the rack structure during erection
- reactional forces of the SIR machine on the guide rail in the following situations:
a) during travel
b) docking (directly prior to making contact with the load make-up accessory)
c) Storage I retrieval input/output of the racking
- temperature changes
- transfer of forces from neighbouring aisles or other warehouse equipment e.g. conveyors
The following deformations must be considered on an individual basis and incorporated in the system
supplier's overall assessment of the system's suitability:
- deformation of the uprights and frames in the X, Y and Z directions
- deformation of the angle support
The deformation of the rack uprights depends on the physical properties of the material used, the rack
height, buckling lengths and loading. The rack manufacturer should be able to provide estimated de-
formation data.
NOTE: The following deformation data can used as a guideline:
Table 2
Rack height (m) Uppermost rack deformation (mm)

Steel quality S235 Steel quality S355
6 1 to 1.5 1.5 to 2.5

10 1.5 to 2.5 2.5 to 4
16 2.5 to 4.5 4 to 6.5
20 3.5 to 5 5 to 8
24 4 to 6 6.to 10
In order to demonstrate functionality (deformation) in multi-aisle stores, the calculation must only be
made with the force of a single SIR machine at the same X location. In general, the least favourable
loading cases are relevant.
Unless otherwise agreed it is assumed that the loads in the rack are evenly distributed, Le. no concen-
tration of loads next to empty racks. In particular, when filling the warehouse for the first time, it has to
be ensured that goods are stored in horizontal layers starting from the lowest level and working up-
wards. This can also ensure that the rack deformation is taken into account when setting the positio-
ning markers.
Page 18
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
4.9.2.1 Deformation values for uprights andl or upright frame deformation

The following uprights or upright frame deformation must be considered:
- V13: side displacement of the highest point of the upright frame during operation due to external
forces and payloads
V17: deformation of uprights at the highest support plane
- V18: side displacement of the highest point of the upright frame diagonal to the aisle during opera-
tion due to external forces and payloads (calculation basis for force-acting: appr. 3 m behind the
first upright inside the racking). In the furthest operating position the deflection must not be more
than twice the value as given in table 3.
NOTE: It should be ensured by the use of horizontal bracing at the top of the uprights that the mo-
vement on both sides of the aisle is equal and in the same direction.
4.9.2.2 Deformation of the supporting angle with the load in the storage position
The following supporting angle deformation must be considered (see figure 4,5, and 9):
- V14: deformation of the supporting beam with tension width I for multi-location storage
- V15: deformation of the supporting angle flange with a 100 % non-centrally arranged load around
the support for single location storage
- V16: vertical lowering of the supporting beams with a 100 % non-centrally arranged load due to
sagging, torsion and local bending of the profile
There should be no residual deformation from the entry angle due to the load if the load is positioned to
its max. eccentricity in respect of the supporting angle.
Figure 9: Deformation of the supporting beam in a multi-location warehouse
4.9.2.3 Deformation and loading on the supporting angle during storage and retrieval
When using the load handling device Type 11 (mechanical pulling mechanism) and in general Type III
(lateral grabbing I pushing mechanisms), maximum forces for a unit load in the Y direction occur, de-
pending on tolerances when inserting and removing the load make-up accessory at the aisle side ends
of the supporting angles.
The supporting angles and their attachments to the aisle side upright must bear all the load forces of all
the transferred unit loads without suffering permanent deformation. The deformation listed under
4.9.2.2. may be exceeded in this case.

5 Clearances
All clearances relate to a tolerance-free, unloaded system.
5.1 Entry clearances

Entry clearances are the clearances between the load handling device and the unit load, or between
the load handling device and the rack. The respective largest entry cross-section of the load handling
devices should be considered. Due to the mast deformation on single mast machines the clearances
for the side facing and the side facing away from the mast (single mast machines) shall be calculated
separately.
Key:
X1 entry dimension between the load handling device and the rack obstructing edge
X2 entry dimension between the load handling device and the rack obstructing edge
X3.1 clearance between the unit load and the rack
X3.2 clearance between the unit load and the rack
Y1 entry dimension between the bottom edge of the load handling device and the top edge of the
unit load
Y2 entry dimension between top edge of the load handling device and the bottom edge of the unit
load
Y3 clearance between top edge of the unit load and the bar of the rack bracing
Y4 clearance between the bottom edge of the unit load and the top edge of the supporting angle
YS clearance between the top edge of the unit load and the bottom edge of the supporting angle

FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
5.2 Rack compartment clearance

The rack compartment clearance is the minimum distance between the unit loads and the uprights,
between the unit loads with reference to each other as well as between the top edge of the stored unit
load and the rack structure or obstructing edge (e.g. sprinkler). Due to the mast deformation on single
mast machines the clearances for the side facing and the side facing away from the mast shall be
calculated separately.

7 Calculation Check
7.1 Interrelationships
A verifying calculation should be carried out by the person responsible for the system in each individual
case to determine that the defined clearances, taking into account known tolerances and deformations,
will allow the system to function reliably.
When considering the individual clearances, the individual allowable tolerances and deformations will
depend on the positioning process and the load handling device used. Calculation examples are given
in Annex A.
Certain tolerances and in particular deformations occurring in the same direction can be reduced by
adjusting the SIR machine, e.g. positioning the SIR machine mast in the X direction parallel to the rack
or setting the upper Y positioning markers deeper after part-filling the store and taking account of any
compression of the uprights.
7.2 Calculation
The worst case condition occurs with all tolerances and deformations at a maximum value and in the
least favourable direction. To optimise the overall system, the suppliers (SIR machine, aisle equipment
and rack) ensure that the overall tolerances are at the worst, 70% of the total tolerances according to
the worst case condition. The overall tolerances as per the worst case method are the sum of the to-
lerances to be considered in the clearances and entry clearances calculation in accordance with
chapter 6. The reduced rack/entry clearances from equation 1 can be used to design the system.
f real =0.70 L Ti max + L Vi max (1 )
where:
Ti max: Sum of max. admissible individual tolerances of a single component (data from chapter 6)
Vi max : Sum of max deformations from calculations and data within a component
Page 28
FEM 9.832 (08.2001)
AnnexA
Calculation Examples
The following examples can be used to explain the interrelationships with numerical values.
As demonstrated in 4.8, the values for the SIR machines are only examples which show the
effects on the overall system. These values must not be used under any circumstance for tole-
rance calculations. The actual values must be calculated by the equipment manufacturer or the
person responsible for the system.
The following possible influencing factors are ignored in the calculation examples:
- uneven wheel wear
- uneven rail deformation due to different loads on each wheels
- residual oscillation amplitudes after settling period
- uneven ground settings
- floor slab deformation greater than described in chapter 4.2.2
- deformation of the load after passing the profile check
All dimensions in the tables given are given in mm.
